Individualization and work in the context of COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic promoted a productive leap in global dimensions and, consequently, in Brazil,  consolidating profound social changes. The process of flexibilization of work relations found, in the pandemic context, objective conditions for its expansion, in  particular the increasing use of technical- informational and telecommunications solutions.  Assuming this scenario, this essay discusses the  individualized and individualizing forms and labor  relations resulting from this process, as well as the  intensification of the dynamics of social  individualization.
